We had a couple of issues this episode 1) our terrible moods and 2) some technical issues which made Cherry sound like a robot for a while. (If you’re wondering, no, this did not help the moods.) On the upside? We got a wee bit ranty — which is always fun.

Episode 23: Kdrama, Not Korean Soap Operas

Show Notes
In this episode we put our ranty hats on and talk about how delightful we think it is when people call Kdramas “Korean soap operas,” and if they can say it while rolling their eyes? Even better! (This is a lie, neither of these things are good.) We talk about what we’re watching and Stephanie lays a big surprise on Cherry Cordial, add on some newsy type stuff and a listener-question-inspired topic about the changes of Kdrama through history which we “Uhhh…” our way through, and you have the perfect recipe for an interesting podcast.

Cherry, I stopped watching Roommate season 1 because I was so upset about them kicking off Bom as well.
Stephanie, I lost all respect for Min Woo when he was being so babyish, and hearing you talk about season 1 made realize how much I missed Kang Joon being immature. Did you see when he dressed up as Kang Dash Man?

Kimi Wa Petto is one of my favorite comfort watches. Cherry – if you ever want to talk about it, you have someone willing to do so here.

Stephanie – I’ve seen the movie and it is at best a pale imitation of a shadow of a scent of the manga and Japanese series. The Korean version really desecrated the story and it’s feeling it as far as I’m concerned. I love me some Jang Keun Suk but compared to the Japanese Momo the version they had him play was anemic. Cherry is right. The J version is so weird and the chemistry between the leads great. Momo is the ultimate Beta hero!
